This review will describe the recent advances in the synthesis of C-nucleosides with inhibitory activity of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of guanine nucleotides. The review will cover synthetic approaches of structural analogues showing modifications in the furanose ring as well as in the heterocyclic base. Heterocyclic sugar nucleoside analogues ...

This article deals with the mutagenic heterocyclic amines, especially the aminoimidazoazaarenes family, isolated from cooked foods. The conditions which lead to their occurrence in foods are discussed. This formation primarily depends on the characteristics of the food, such as the type of the food and the presence of precursors, water, and lipids. Secondarily, it depends on the cooking modes w...

ABSTRACT A series of novel phenylsulfonyl- and 4-aminophenylsulfonyl-carboximidamides were synthesized by condensation of sulfonamides with heterocyclic methyl carbimidates obtained from heterocyclic carbonitriles and used 'at its inception.' The molecular structure of the obtained compounds is discussed. Compounds possessing heterocyclic systems with a nitrogen atom in the α position to the fu...

A new synthetic strategy was devised leading to the formation of complexes, such as [Au(IPr)(CH2 COCH3)]. The approach capitalizes on the formation of a decomposition product observed in the course of the synthesis of [Au(IPr)(Cl)]. A library of gold acetonyl complexes containing the most common N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands has been synthesized. These acetonyl complexes are good synthon...

Pyrrole is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound, a five-membered ring with the formula C4H4NH. It is a colourless volatile liquid that darkens readily upon exposure to air. Substituted derivatives are also called pyrroles, e.g., N-methylpyrrole, C4H4NCH3. Porphobilinogen, a trisubstituted pyrrole, is the biosynthetic precursor to many natural products such as heme. A heterocyclic compound i...

Catalytic intramolecular hydrofunctionalization of allylphenols to heterocyclic compounds mediated by rhodium(iii) porphyrin complexes was described. The Wacker-type intermediate β-heterocyclic alkyl rhodium complex was independently synthesized and crystallized.

In the title compound, C(10)H(9)Cl(2)NO(3)S, the S atom, which is a component atom of a heterocyclic ring, shows tetra-hedral coordination. The heterocyclic ring is not planar.

Because of the significant role in biological processes in living cells and the diverse types of physiological activities, heterocyclic compounds are in focus of intense investigations by academic, industry and applied-oriented chemists. Considerably, ascientific renaissance of heterocycles during the last decades is closely related to the development of multicomponent approaches to their s...

The reaction of [Pt(II)(2-phenylpyridine)(acac)] and benzothiazolium bromide yields the N,S-heterocyclic carbene ligand trans to pyridyl while, surprisingly, a very similar N,N-heterocyclic carbene coordinates predominantly trans to the cyclometallated carbon.

BACKGROUND N-acetyltransferases (NAT) 1 and 2 are polymorphic enzymes catalyzing the metabolic activation of heterocyclic amines. We investigated the modifying effects of NAT1 and NAT2 polymorphisms on the association of meat consumption, heterocyclic amine intake, and smoking with colorectal cancer risk. METHOD In the Multiethnic Cohort study, participants completed a smoking history and a f...
